MP3 is the file extenstion for MPEG, audio 3. The popularity of MP3s
increases daily as MP3 files are small and can easily be transferred
across the Internet.
To take advantage of this technology, Red Hat provides the
X Multimedia System
(XMMS). XMMS is a
cross-platform multimedia player that allows you to play your MP3
files.
XMMS can be used for more than just
playing MP3 audio files. By default XMMS can
play MPEG audio, Ogg Vorbis, RIFF wav, most module formats, and a few
other formats. XMMS can be extended through
plugins to play a number of other audio and video formats.
To learn more about XMMS, refer to the
XMMS man page by typing man
xmms at the shell prompt.
To launch XMMS in GNOME, go to

To launch XMMS from a shell prompt, type
the command xmms.
